Bank robbed twice this year, once by man dressed as woman

A Maryland BB&T Bank robbed late last week was also hit earlier this year by a man in women’s clothing.

On Thursday morning, the BB&T at 10579 Theodore Green Blvd. in White Plains was robbed by a man who implied he had a weapon, demanded cash and then ran from the area after a teller filled a bag with money, police said.

The suspect was white and in his late 40s to early 50s, police said. He had a mustache and glasses.

In January, a man wearing a long blond wig with a red hat passed a teller a note demanding a large amount of cash, authorities said. A teller complied, and the robber ran out.

That robber was also white and around the same age as Thursday’s robber. However, the January robber had rotten teeth and a gaunt face, police said, and the more recent criminal did not. Authorities do not believe the two robberies are connected.

Anyone with information in either case is asked to call Charles County Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS or the FBI Baltimore Field Office at 410-265-8080. For more information about Washington-area bank robberies, visit bankbandits.org.
